Hello & Welcome to Our Beginning!

There is a small little juice bar in the heart of Tuscaloosa. It was there on a weekday Ayush drove ALL the way from Montgomery AL just to meet me for the 1st time. We had been talking a little on the phone getting to know one another. Ayush had just passed his citizenship exam and was now a US citizen. I was the 1st person he celebrated with. His buddies had a plan set for a celebration later that night. His plan was to meet me for an hour or so but love has no time. 4 or 5 hours later Ayush had still not left Tuscaloosa for we had drifted off in la la love land together and others started to notice! The lady at The Wine Market asked me is this y’all’s 1st date? Yes, yes it is. She said it's going very well, I’d say! We were having a blast! We went from the juice bar to the wine market to Chuck's fish for dinner. His friends and family were blowing up his phone to congratulate him. He only had eyes for me. It was a lovely evening out. He finally headed home and we had to say goodbye. Although I truly believe we both knew then it was actually Hello, to a new beginning.
